She beams broadly, and she should.
Her name is Alexandra Maria Lara, and she has a small role in a big film which
opens on Friday across the U.S. and Canada. The film is "Miracle At St.
Anna", Spike Lee's World War Two drama.
Miss Lara, who previously was seen in theaters in North America in Francis Ford
Coppola's film "Youth Without Youth" last year, played multiple roles in Mr.
Coppola's film, including as a Nazi propaganda temptress. Mr. Lee has her
donning the Nazi temptress role again in "Miracle", where she plays Axis Sally,
a real-life Nazi propagandist.

Miss Lara will also star in "Kaifeck Murder", which is scheduled to open in Europe
